George Elliston herself can’t resist this year’s stupendous Cincinnati Review swag, and she models it with such style! (If you have no idea who Cincinnati literary icon George Elliston is, stop what you’re doing right now and read Kelcey Ervick’s extraordinary graphic essay on her life). Kelcey’s George Elliston swag design is one-of-a-kind, made just for CR, and inspirational to boot. Visit us in booth 912 to purchase one or both of these items, or get one as part of a bundle with a 1-year-print or 2-year-digital subscription. We’ll also be offering our classic Fennec Fox and Guinea Pig tee shirts, both fan faves (though we won’t have every size of every shirt, we’re sorry to say).

We were lucky enough to get George (aka. Assistant Editor Lily Davenport) to visit us right here on campus and lend her stamp of approval to these necessary items.

Eco-Mugs

Between stints at the office of the Cincinnati Times-Star and trips to the morgue to check on the bodies in the long zinc holders, there’s no time for tea (let’s be real—George was a coffee drinker, probably took it black). She uses a handy eco-mug, made out of recycled plastics, to take her refreshment with her wherever she goes.

We haven’t forgotten the back of the mug which is, of course, emblazoned with our CR logo.

Perfect-Bound Notebooks

When inspiration strikes, George takes notes in her perfect-bound notebook, which is a genuine delight to write in. High-quality, with creamy paper that works well with both ballpoint and fountain pens, we already carry ours around with us everywhere we go.
